The Hunting Party Page #4

---

I mean, we studied it

in journalism school.

Reporting from

the five-year anniversary ceremony

for Jamaican television,

this is Simon Hunt in Sarajevo.

Reporting for Peruvian state television,

I'm Simon Hunt in Sarajevo.

Reporting for

the Polish television news network,

I'm Simon Hunt in Sarajevo.

I hope one of these bastards buys this.

Hope so.

Check the atlas.

I don't think you got any countries left.

Yeah, well,

considering what I got up my sleeve,

it won't matter much.

Hey, get this back to the hotel.

I'll meet you there later.

All right, daddy, what's the story?

You make the call?

What call?

To your little Greek souvlaki.

'Cause this story's too big to waste

if you're just going to get on a plane

like Facelift Franklin.

You're getting soft, Duckie.

You've gotten real soft

around the edges.

You're like a racehorse

that's been put out to pasture.

Yeah, and you can f*** off, Simon.

But when I know that you're ready

to do serious journalism,

instead of that anchorman fluff

they've reduced you to,

I'll fill you in, okay?

What's the story, you motherf***er?

It's good.

It's really good.

What?

What?

You know the Fox?

Pompous bastard who's responsible

for all of this?

Yeah.

I know where he's hiding.

So this great source of yours

knows where he's hiding,

just like that?

Yeah. Correct.

And we're going to find him

and score an interview.

Correct.

Go where no bounty hunter

or U.S. Marine has ever gone before.

Correct.

You are out of your f***ing mind.

Okay. What about the bodyguards

that he travels with, Simon?

Have you thought about that?

Yeah. Word is he's got 20

armed guards with him at all times.

Yeah? Well, I heard it's 50.

- Fifty?

- Fifty.

Maybe.

Actually, some people

believe he has none.

Stupid people.

Doesn't matter.

He's expecting NATO troops,

not two jerks in a car.

We can get right up to him.

I know the town.

- I have directions.

- You got directions?

What, somebody said

"Make a left at the first Quickie-Mart"?

I don't think they have

Quickie-Marts in Bosnia, Duckie.

Okay, Simon.

This great source of yours...

How do you even know

that you can trust him?

It's real.

He says he's hiding

up in the mountains of Celibici,

right by the border of Montenegro.

You go one step over the border,

NATO can't catch you.

No, no, no.

- They've been printing that gossip...

- He's there. He's in the mountains.

He's there! He...

He's an hour and a half

up an unpaved road.

He's surrounded

by sympathetic Bosnian Serbs

who will protect him...

at all costs.

That's just f***ing great.

We're leaving first thing in the morning.

If you could see me in this bikini, Duck,
